Question

Give a phonemic transcription of the following words putting stress mark wherever necessary:examination ,university ,student ,doctor,society ,church,market,Book.

Answer 1

Answer:

In phonemic transcription, the answer is “yes” only if there is an English word where saying one sound instead of another changes the meaning. For example, saying “d” instead of “t” in the word bet changes the meaning (the word becomes bed), therefore we use separate symbols for “d” and “t” in phonemic transcriptions.
